Abstract Octopus Silhouette

Description

So, it's my good friend, Christina's, belated birthday. I've taken to drawing these silhouettes and giving them away as gifts.

I recommend that when giving drawings as gifts, that you give them to the person already framed. That way,

a) you get to choose an awesome/matching/artistic frame that actually goes with the piece (color-palette-wise or size-wise or whatever),

b) the piece will actually get framed (I've given away art, wishing for the person to frame it, pleading in my mind for them to frame it, but they don't *sad face*), 

and c) giving it away with the frame ensures the safety of your baby because, let's face it, that artwork that you are giving away is your baby. It is your child, and you are giving it up for adoption for whatever reason because you love the person you are giving it to so much, that you would give your child to them… okay, what am I saying? What I mean to say is that the artwork and you, you've bonded, and it is hard to let go without knowing that your artwork is safe in the recipient's hands.
So frame the gosh-darn artwork! You wouldn't want to hand over your child naked, would you?

Okay, rant over.

Time taken: ~4 hrs (I'm getting faster at this!)
Medium: Sepia micron pen (0.5 mm) on white sketchbook paper, outlined in sepia brush pen (I've edited the piece to be b&w)
Size: 8" x 8"
Reference for the silhouette: imgarcade.com/1/octopus-silhou…

Please do not steal/use/exploit this artwork… I fear I have put a little bit of my heart on this page for all to see.

I hope you enjoy!

Oh! And I worked on this while watching "Good Mythical Morning", a YouTube channel/show my friend, Riley, told me to check out, and let me tell you, it is totally worth it. I find the name kind of ironic, since I was watching it late at night and actually into the early morning so… Go on YouTube and watch GMM right now if you have not already been exposed to Rhett and Link's pure awesomeness. If you already have, go and check 'em out anyway because they've got new stuff all the time.
